Crews with the Shelly Co. will begin surface grinding of Main Street from Brown Avenue to Northview Drive on Wednesday.

Grinding will continue Thursday and Friday before moving Saturday to the 100 block of north Madriver Street, all part of an Ohio Department of Transportation project to repave sections of U.S. Route 68 from Auburn Avenue north.

Paving will begin on the bypass section on Monday requiring a one-day closure and continue northward.

Traffic will be maintained for the remainder of the project but motorists are encouraged to find alternate route to avoid delays and reduce congestion.
